Subject: Ricardo Cortez & Joan Woodbury Do Well In "I Killed That Man"
This has a release date of 1941 and not 1945 as noted in Internet Archive. Ricardo Cortez and Joan Woodbury head an acceptable cast in this murder mystery. The plot and the cast of characters is entertaining. This 71 year old film has good picture resolution and sound.

Subject: It's not terrible
This 1941 detective who-done-it tries to maintain excitement with fast talking characters, but falls short. I've seen better work from stars Joan Woodbury and Ricardo Cortez. Watching it, I wondered whether the cast and crew had seen the script before shooting started. Phil Rosen, veteran director of low budget films of the 1930s and 1940s, kept the film moving despite itself. He directed 5 Sidney Toler - Charlie Chan movies, including 3 of the worst, as well as Phantom of Chinatown, the last Mr. Wong movie, and one of the best.

I downloaded the DivX file. The video quality is fair, audio is fine.
